Henkel Loctite Adhesives has a range of kits designed for the assembly of electronic components onto printed circuit boards.
Users need only wipe the tip of the soldering iron gently across the surface of the TTC-LF to produce local melting and then wipe as normal on a damp sponge to ready the iron for re-use.
"This simple, quick and effective method of re-tinning allows electronics manufacturers to realise considerable cost savings", says Doug Dixon, Marketing Manager for the Electronics Group of Henkel.
"Soldering iron tip oxidation is a common and costly occurrence in electronics production environments".
"TTC-LF provides a solution to this problem for all applications - whether leaded or lead-free".
Besides its lead-free characteristic, other benefits of Multicore TTC-LF include minimal residues, activators that thermally decompose into inert components, and the ability to clean heavily oxidised metal surfaces such as copper and iron plated soldering tips.
